It's been a while...

I know it's been a while but I was out of town and blah blah blah...so welcome back to us all! We are pleased to welcome Sam Adams this week to pour their new Imperial Series along side the already (yes, already) released Summer Ale.

In addition we have some new arrivals and renovation under way. We are moving and expanding the food department and opening up some more space for our sudsy friends! We will keep you updated!

Weekly Update

We are thrilled to be pouring the new Brooklyn Local 2 in both Brookline and Kenmore this Thursday for you thirsty readers. In addition Brookline will be featuring the Local 1 and the Pennant Ale. Our Thursday tastings are always free and open to the public. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call.

Brookline 5-7pm
Kenmore 6-8pm

Thanks to all who came out on Saturday for our Spring Grand Wine Tasting in Brookline, the event was a great success.

The Second Coming pt. 2

At long last we have received another, albeit small, shipment of Troegs Nugget Nectar 6-packs. Our distributor is limiting cases per account so unfortunately we don't have nearly as much as we'd like to offer. As promised since the beer is on the shelf the update is on the blog. Thanks for your patience.

Also this week we received some other tasty bottles:
Dieu Du Ciel Rosee d'Hibiscus
Dieu Du Ciel Peche Mortel
Great Divide Espresso Oaked Yeti
Southern Tier Oaked Unearthly
Brooklyn Local 2


Cheers!

The Second Coming

Next week is one of those rare Wine Gallery weeks when we DO NOT have a Thursday beer tasting. Fret not however, because Saturday, March 7, from 3-6pm is our annual Spring Grand Wine Tasting. Featuring over 100 wines, this delight is free and open to the public. To prepare however we are all tied up and worn out. So, no beer tasting 3/5 unfortunately. Sorry.

But....Thursday, March 12 we are thrilled to announce that Patrick Paulick from the Brooklyn Brewery will be on hand to pour the brand new Brooklyn Local 2. The beer is so new in fact, there's not even a page for it yet on their website. Please check it out with us on 3/12, 5-7pm. Cheers!

Mayflower IPA

If you love America you are obligated to love a beer from Plymouth, MA, called Mayflower. If you love delicious beer you are also obligated to love a beer from Plymouth, called Mayflower. After a long, but required wait, Mayflower IPA is now available in 6-pack bottles! Previously a draft only beer, the crew at Mayflower now feel confident enough in their supply chain to produce enough of this sought after brew for bottles. We are happy. Enjoy!

Mayflower IPA 6-packs are on the shelf in Brookline for $10.99 and will be arriving in Kenmore and Dedham later today.
